It’s a wonderful Wednesday kicking off with another midi flavor- strawberry cheesecake! While not as life-changing as the rare cheesecake flavor, this sweet combination works really well with the midi’s generous amount of coating. The extra frosting (?) really allowed the berry and cheesecake flavors to come out together instead of one overpowering the other. Delicious! ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ ( 4 / 5 ) Want to try some of these for yourself? I’m doing a giveaway! You can find all the information here, but hurry, it’s ending soon!
What’s new, Wednesday? This week I’m introducing the smallest line of pocky boxes- Demitasse! These short sticks have a bitter coffee/chocolate, its name literally meaning a small cup of coffee. This particular flavor added mint into the mix which, while a fun idea, was a little overwhelming with the flavors that were already going on. The coffee was very powerful and did not mix well with the hint of mint, and ended up with an overpowering, poorly balanced taste.

Happy Wednesday- sorry I’m a little late! This week’s flavor is just peachy–
Peach pocky is a mild sweet flavor that isn’t particularly special nor particularly offensive. A lot of peach snacks have a not-super-concentrated taste, and like those snacks the flavoring here was very weak, but nice. I’m not quite sure if ‘dry’ is the right word, but it leaves something to be desired

Stay tuned for a post about my raffle: We made it, y’all! But- I wasn’t prepared to get here so quickly! This weekend I’ll get the boxes for the giveaway and will make the formal post then. I’m thinking I’ll be shipping unusual flavors to two lucky winners- maybe 3? We’ll see!
Oh how the mighty fall- we are experiencing both highs and lows in this month’s flavors. Unfortunately, the blueberry raspberry pocky tasted more like waxy cold medicine than berries. The fruity flavors are often very hit or miss. On a side note, this was one of the few flavors I ordered online. Usually I go to stores in person, but I decided to give it a try. All of the flavors were expired which probably didn’t make them taste any better, and the box was dented (as you can see in the scan) like someone had grabbed it carelessly. So! Let this be a lesson! Be careful when ordering food products online.

CHEEEEEEEEEEEESE
CAAAAAAAKKKE
Here it is- rare cheese cake. Yes, you heard me. This flavor is my all time favorite. My previous experience with milk pocky (which had an unfortunate cheesy taste) made me apprehensive at first, but this flavor nails it. The hint of lemon is just right, and the biscuit stick mimics the graham bottom you find in many cheesecakes. Even if you aren’t a big fan of cheesecake (which I wasn’t, at first) it might just change your mind.

We’re switching it up this Wednesday, and am taking a break from our midi detour. The ‘excellent’ chocolate pocky is..a bit of a mystery.This limited edition flavor claims to be some sort of fancier (sophisticated?) dark chocolate coated with cocoa powder on a chocolate stick. (sounds very similar to a flavor I’ve yet to review here, but ok) This flavor was incredibly bitter, with the dark chocolate and powder not having much sweetness to balance them out. The cocoa powder also melts and makes an absolute mess very easily. Maybe if I was more of a dark chocolate fan I would have enjoyed it more, but alas.

Hmmmmm.... bran....
Banana….bran? Despite my skepticism, this is by far the best banana-related flavor I have tried so far! It tastes closer to banana bread than plain banana, which makes the palette a little more balanced. The biscuit stick is also grain based, which was an excellent touch. Another great flavor that isn’t too sweet!
